Nefroblastomatosis frente a tumor de Wilms: a propósito de un caso

Nephroblastomatosis is an abnormality of nephrogenesis and has been defined as the persistence of metanephric blastema into infancy. The association of these foci of fetal tissue with Wilms' tumor has been repeatedly documented in the literature. Numerous imaging modalities currently enable the detection of nephroblastomatosis and followup of patients to detect neoplastic change, which is especially indicated during infancy and early childhood, when the likelihood of Wilms' tumor developing is highest.
